What is the `EMF` of a cell?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Definition of EMF**: The Electromotive Force (EMF) of a cell is defined as the voltage or electrical potential difference between the two electrodes (anode and cathode) of an electrochemical cell when no current is flowing. 2. **Components of a Cell**: An electrochemical cell consists of two half-cells: - **Anode**: The electrode where oxidation occurs (loss of electrons). ...
